Ten Detroit Lions fans were killed and numerous others were injured in today’s tragic fire at Ford Field Stadium. As authorities work to identify the cause of the fire, the horrific event has left the Detroit community in shock and grief.
During a lunchtime fan rally honoring the team’s recent accomplishments, the fire broke out. Before flames quickly spread across the stadium, witnesses saw dense black smoke coming from the eastern section of the venue. Although emergency personnel came quickly, it was difficult to stop the fire in time to avoid the devastating death toll due to its strength.
Everything happened so quickly. We were having fun at the event one minute, and then there was mayhem,” Marie Thompson said.
